Okay, I posted a new topic. One more question and then I'll leave you alone

Is there a way to turn off the seat belt warning chime/message?

Unfortunately.... No, there is no way to turn off all the annoying chirps... FYI, your car will also give you a warning chirp when the temp is lower than ~35 degrees.

Also, in terms of the extended maint. warranty... It all depends on how much you drive. Here's the deal... if you drive about 10/12k miles a year... than probably not worth it... If you drive 15/20k miles a year... Then it will probably be worth it... You should also know that you can negotiate on the price of the extended maint. warranty (dealer invoice costs either $1,595 or $1,695).

Also, I know your car is a CPO... So, were the brakes just done? If not, then it will cost ~ $1,200 to get all 4 brakes done. I would get the extended maint. warranty if you're going to need to get the brakes done and will be out of the new car warranty (btw, you can always add the extended maint. warranty when your new car warranty is still valid).

Hope all this info helps & enjoy your new 5.
